9/20/2012-No Fun Town

The city of Hartford has had its head up its rule book for a long time. I've never seen or heard of a city more averse to spontaneous fun. Thirty years ago, street corner musicians weren't allowed to play on the street corners. Twenty years ago, the fiddle contest grew popular enough that the city of Hartford moved them out of Bushnell Park and over to Siberia Park. That effectively killed the contest.

I don't know why the city leaders are so tone deaf. I was shocked when they actually did something right and fun by putting the skating rink up in the winter. I expect them to end the practice soon. Any time anyone starts to have fun in Hartford, you know it won't last.
